What Order Should You Play Persona?

[@saleerix]

literally any order works as long as they don't start with eternal punishment or any of the spin offs

[@harveysoloconvo]

YOOO TGPT FAN

[@eqicman8100]

I played the games Persona 4 Golden, Persona 3 Reload, then Persona 5 Royal... so I did the exact opposite of what you thought was the best order. I also did bad ending of SEBEC in Persona 1 after finishing Royal.

[@tk1411]

solid list Personally I started with Persona 4 Arena Ultimax when I was a Kid and Tried Playing Persona 1 and 2 which felt sluggish but abosutely loved P3P still havent played P5 or P4 but even with my Solidsh Persona knowledge this list defintely aims to ease people into Persona instead of just throwing them in which can be frustrating for newbies especialy if they havent played alot of TRPG

[@ryanhatfield8602]

Persona 4 is my favorite and I think people could start there

[@soulnha]

Same! It’s the one I played first too

[@oltozev7926]

No you need to play persona 3 first Because it is difficult to move from an atmosphere of happiness in p4 to the dark Atmosphere of p3

[@TheLetterJ-c8n]

I didn't like perona 4. The dialogue and mainn villain bored me.

[@oltozev7926]

@@TheLetterJ-c8n Nop its a masterpiece I think you don’t like jrpg’s at all

[@NaziZombie]

@@oltozev7926 Persona 4 is good for early teenagers. Its boring, immature and cringey.

[@chaliceohearts4658]

If you can get your hands on it somehow, I really recommend playing both Persona 2s (specifically the PSP version). Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment are pretty different compared to the modern Persona games, but I think that you can appreciate how the series has changed. As for Persona 1, you could play it, or you can read the manga like you said in the video.

[@chris2236]

Thanks just bought p5r and p4g today because they were on a hefty sale and if i like them i will get the new p3 when a new sale comes around in a few months maybe.

[@joopvanhedel1372]

Due to personnel reasons I have a lot more time for gaming so I started playing the entire series for the first time. I played Persona 5 Royal 1 or 2 months ago, I don't remember exactly when how many weeks ago. Then I played Persona 3 reload and played 5 strikers and tactics while I waited for 4 to go on sale. And now I'm playing Persona 4 golden. So I agree with you, this is The perfect order to play the series Side note if you want to play persona Q 1 and 2 and don't have a 3DS you can use retroarch, citra is dead but people forget that retroarch can play 3DS games and if you want to use a real 3DS emulated then there are videos about lime3DS And extra side note to play Persona 4 Arena Ultimax then I think you must have also played episode Aigis/The Answer, you forgot to put that in there

[@Trecko]

For me I played P5R>P4G>P3RE + all of the spinoffs. Whatever order works honestly, it doesn't really matter. My personal favorite is Persona 4, but the other two are also the most entertaining video games that I've ever played.

[@KatelynTea]

Heres my play order 5, 3, 4, IS, 1, EP I think 3 is the best starting point then probably 5 then 4 the 1 then IS and then EP. Don't pass on the classics they're so good

[@kwiop]

for me, i started off with p4g and took a break starting mitsuos dungeon to play p3r i enjoyed p3r quite a lot (except for tartarus) and absolutely loved the mechanics and story/ending. after that i started playing p5r and im currently in shidos dungeon. id say the introduction to this one is slow, and didnt grab my attention as much, but theres definitely more things to do in p5r and does get interesting late game. after i finish p5r ill have to finish p4g so i recommend,, p4g > p3r > p5r

[@trytokeepup7977]

Persona 5 is a great game to start just because of the whole igordabath plot twist. I played 5 first so I just thought that's what his voice is.

[@crunchy303]

Isn't what u said technically a spoiler?

[@MisterIncog]

Yeah it’s a really weird one. Like you would predict the plot twist of P5 if you played other games

[@MansBestFriend_]

​@@crunchy303 lmao i guess he thought its more of a iykyk situation but posting end of base game spoiler in the comments is insane, idc how old the game is

[@mrjarju33]

I played p5 then p4g and I just finished p3r and I'm glad I did it in that order

[@SkotKozB5]

Idk if I agree that Royal is the best starting point. I started with OG P5 into Royal and recently beat P4G. I wish I'd started with 3 or P4G before ever playing P5/Royal because the insane gameplay innovations that came with P5 makes me really dislike the combat of the previous games. Even being able to switch your party members during battle or back line party members getting exp was sorely missed when I played through P4G. I'd also recommend P4G before Royal (I haven't played any version of P3 yet) because the story is phenomenal. I'd go as far as saying it's better than P5 in many aspects.

[@pepperiscool9471]

I’ve beat 5r and p3r and now am playing p4g im on rises dungeon but just can’t seem to get as invested as 5 and 3

[@MisterIncog]

You have to be into the story to enjoy p4g basically. It gets far better after rises dungeon, even in terms of something as little as music (god I hate dungeon themes for dungeons 1-3)

[@pepperiscool9471]

@@MisterIncog do you think I’ll still have fun even though I have the killer spoiled but that’s about it and how teddy because like a human form or something

[@notreallytato]

I’ve seen that P4 doesn’t really connect with most people (specifically here in Japan) maybe it’s just not your type of story

[@MisterIncog]

@@pepperiscool9471 yeah, sure you will. I’m pretty sure you don’t have the actual full picture spoiled

[@MisterPillay117]

I played Reload first and later bought P4G then P5R later. But with P3R, I only found out about certain mechanics like being able to switch Personas mid battle and other stuff later on

[@giganticmoon]

start with 4 to get a feel 5 to see changes 3 reload to get feels if you want hell do the 2ology or revelations

[@keeganbrakhage7835]

i played 5 and got burnt out on the story but started p4g and am way more hooked

[@notreallytato]

Not everyone has the same experiences and that’s ok

[@MansBestFriend_]

Tbf the writing on p4g is imo way better than p5r, i couldnt get enough of p5r my first time around but i understand where you're coming from

[@benjoman8252]

My first persona game was p5 and I almost gave up on the series because I hated it. I liked the first palace and "arc" but the rest of the game doesn't keep the mature, realistic writing that the start of the game has, and instead tries to focus on quirky writing and goofy characters. Thankfully my brother convinced me to play P3 and then I played p4 (which is my favourite one) and p3p. Tried reload but it's way too different from P3 and doesn't include the additional content from any of the other versions of the P3 so it just seems like a waste of money. I hope p6 tries to differentiate itself from p5 and p3r

[@notreallytato]

@@benjoman8252 Complaining about P5 having quirky writing and character and proceeding to say P4 is your favorite where all the characters are anime stereotypes with 80% of scenes consisting of funny slice of life for pre teens is crazy

[@Beautifulconversation]

My recommendation 4 because it's great but the least modern 5 royal because you will have some minor 5 spoilers in 3 from 5 And then 3

[@towinandsave1520]

SPOILER DONT READ IF YOU HAVENT PLAY PERSONA 5 OR 4 I understand your point but personally I dont agree. I think p4g is the best one to start and this is coming from someone who like p5r little more. p4g gives you beter understanding of worlbulding of persona world. Introduces concept of palaces and SPOILER DONT READ IF YOU HAVENT PLAY PERSONA 5 OR 4 SPOILER DONT READ IF YOU HAVENT PLAY PERSONA 5 OR 4 SPOILER DONT READ IF YOU HAVENT PLAY PERSONA 5 OR 4 SPOILER DONT READ IF YOU HAVENT PLAY PERSONA 5 OR 4 Introduce you to igor which makes revel in persona 5 more impactful. I recomended to my friend to start with p4g, to try it and if he does not like it head out to persona 5r

[@notreallytato]

That reveal is not really that big and P5 introduces Persona mythology and palaces much better IMO

[@aaronvasseur6559]

The female protagonist route was not that different it had the ability to romance the guys and obviously different dialogue options but the story was basically identical it’s not worth playing though the canon route is the male route and p3r adapts that great plus the aigis dlc coming soon it will be the definitive way to play persona 3

[@colintalukdar3767]

There's no specific order to play, but the preferred order would be 3, 4 then 5.

[@baklavalite]

i did the opposite, satanael saved christmas, giga chad defeated 8 gods in total and one is the smt version of jesus

[@KatelynTea]

And then play 1 and 2

[@baklavalite]

@@KatelynTea i cant i just own the new gen console and cant afford to buy a old one for p1 and 2, all i can do for now is to hope for a remake

[@Darth_meral]

I only played p5r and got hooked so bad I bought p3r and will buy p4g soon hopefully, also I already intend to play them all in that order (p5r > p3r > p4g), so i was really happy seeing my fake made up order is not so crazy so thanks 😂

[@arthurcondello5887]

trinity soul died when it was born gjngnijwksegni

[@kieroncampion120]

Play 5 first. If you liked it move on to 4 if you liked that play 3

[@TrvisXXIII]

Why is your audio always so low lol every time an ad plays before your video, I have to turn the volume all the way up just to hear anything

[@MisterIncog]

My very genuine and the only correct opinion is that you should start with P4G because it’s the easiest to pirate, then go for P5R emulated through Ryujinx (FitGirl repack is really good) and forget about P3R until maybe it gets cracked some day (i doubt it) and also wait for the dlc(s). Atlus won’t see a penny from me for P3R because locking FES content behind dlc is preposterous. I started with P5R tho, needed that handholding really bad. I did try P4G first and dropped it exactly because it throws you into things too quickly. And the vibe is much more clunky. Nanako helps tho. Great vegetables.

[@towinandsave1520]

damn

[@CultoradoLsp]

3,4,5?

[@KatelynTea]

And also 1 and 2

[@aaronvasseur6559]

Make sure you use a guide these games are not fun to play blind

[@KatelynTea]

The games are way more fun doing what you want and not following a dumbass guide to completely undermine half the game

[@GeorgieMe9313]

P5R is by far the best one to start with, if you want to play the modern games. If you play P3/4 before it then you could be spoiled on some of the twists.

[@aaronvasseur6559]

The anime for persona 5 is good it’s just the cutscenes and all the stuff that’s not gameplay adapted into a few episodes why say it’s bad it’s great if you have not got over 100 hours to play the games

[@Toads23]

3,4,5. Persona 1 and 2 don't exist btw
